How many treatment sessions are necessary?
The number of sessions you will need is dependent on a number of factors. Some of these factors are your hair color (darker hair requires less sessions), your skin pigmentation (dark skin may require more sessions), your hair density, your hormonal status, and whether or not you are on medication (some medicines can increase hair growth). However on average clients can expect to need three to six treatment sessions. This is due to the fact that the laser destroys hair follicles that are in an active growth stage by destroying the roots. But at any given time there are also hair follicles in dormant stages, which have not yet developed roots. On the dormant hairs lasers have no effect, so the client must return to destroy the dormant hairs as they enter the active stage of their cycle and develop roots.
